Steps:
- Heat a gas grill to medium. If you are cooking on a charcoal grill, wait until the fire has died down to medium to low heat.
- Cut the peaches along their seams, all the way around, and twist their halves off their pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until the fruit has developed grill marks and started to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Brush the tops with oil, turn over and move to the side of the grill to continue cooking over indirect heat, another 4 to 5 minutes. You can add flavor by brushing them with maple syrup and bourbon, or molasses and butter. But if they are perfect peaches, they shouldn't need anything at all.

GRILLED PEACHES
Steps:
- Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches or nectarines. Overripe fruit will be too soft and mushy when grilled.
- Cut the fruit into even slices. This will help them cook evenly.
- Brush the fruit with melted butter or oil. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the fruit over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Turn the fruit every few minutes. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the fruit until it is slightly charred and tender. You should be able to easily pierce the fruit with a fork.
- Serve the fruit warm or at room temperature. You can top them with ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Maple grilled peaches or nectarines are a delicious and easy summer dessert. They are perfect for a cookout or potluck.
